To my faithful readers: This is a story requested by an anonymous reader. I always asked for new ideas and this story was spawned from that request. I can't help myself and, in the end, it winds up being a love story, but it has lots of twists and turns getting there.
I have received many other requests and Medieval fantasies, continuation of Venus Ascending and a new version of Model Slave are all in the works. Other ideas are welcome even if you remain anonymous. I love your positive feedback and thank you for reading.
Paladin Princess
Chapter 6
Geoffrey woke with the first vestiges of the sunrise but stayed in their love nest watching the most regal and beautiful woman he had ever seen sleep peacefully. The sun's morning shadows cast over her naked body were erotic and artistic at the same time. She simply took his breath away and only his deep abiding love for her kept his hands from caressing her taut form and waking her. She was so serene with an innocent and loving look on her face.
His eyes roamed her scintillating form, hidden and revealed at the same time in the morning light. Never had a woman captured his heart and soul like Ruth had. He knew much of his desire for her was his deep abiding love for her, but her incredible body left him aroused and unable to think of anything but her. He wondered what twist of fate brought this incredible woman into his life and if they survived the coming war, he swore that he would never leave her.
Unknown to Geoffrey, Ruth was awake, but she feigned sleeping, feeling the heat of his love and desire wash over her. She was waiting for him to touch her, take her again and start their day with blistering and ultimately fulfilling lovemaking. She felt his eyes caressing her everywhere and squirmed on their bed moaning his name. His intake of breath let her know that he was itching to touch her, kiss her and make love to her.
She kept her eyes closed and squirmed in an attempt to seduce him, just as if they were making love. Geoffrey ogled her sensuous form, and she fidgeted just like she did when he made love to her. She was beauty, sexuality, hunger, and desire all rolled into one. No man could resist this gorgeous vision, especially the man that loved her and hovered over her now.
It worked, he licked his lips, his hands flexed itching to caress her and his already hard cock engorged even more. Oh God, he had to have her again. That was exactly what she wanted, to tease him until he couldn't resist and have his animal instincts take over. She felt as if she were in carnal heat and that is how she wanted him to take her ... like he was her caveman.
She could feel his heat and the hairs on his chest tickling her as he leaned over her, but still not touching her. Just as she felt his tongue caress her nipple, Eragon roared a warning. Ruth heard Geoffrey mutter a curse under his breath and felt him roll out of bed. She opened her eyes and watched as his muscled body stood to address a possible problem. She ogled his form and his muscles bunch as he walked away with his massive, engorged cock bobbing in front of him.
She licked her lips thinking about him inside her and how incredible it felt to have her warrior buried deep inside her. He filled her until she swore, she could feel him in her stomach. Nothing felt as wonderful as when his cock was as deep as it would go inside her and stroking her cervix. She squirmed again with her hand caressing down her belly until she could rub the greedy ache between her legs. She knew they had much to do, but she craved his touch, his kisses and the deep satisfying connection when he was deep inside her. She sighed, forced her hand away from the juncture of her thighs and stood from the bed on shaky legs.
Eragon had spotted a platoon of knights advancing on the cave, but they were still half an hour away. Geoffrey felt as if the word had gotten out about Queen Ruth and her escape from death. The first course of action for the king was to verify her death at the hands of the dragon and that is what the knights were doing here. He could think of two options: 1. To slay all the knights or 2. To leave Princess Ruth's cape along with a bone or two and let them think she was dead.
Option two would just postpone the inevitable, so option one was. He motioned to Eragon to flank them; he would cover their escape route and let no one live. Geoffrey turned to find Ruth already in her warrior outfit and for a moment he was dumbfounded. Ruth smiled because the outfit did exactly what it was supposed to do and if he had been an enemy, she could have slayed him.
Geoffrey shook his head and explained the plan to Ruth. She gathered her bow and arrows and climbed to an elevated position, leaving Geoffrey to face the knights alone. Geoffrey waited for Eragon and Ruth to get into position before he walked forward to meet the knights. He took a confrontational stance before he asked, "Good morning, can I help you gentlemen?"
Judging by rank the leader answered, "We came to verify the death of the Princess Ruth. Rumors are exploding that claim she is still alive and rallying an army."
Geoffrey responded watching for any sign of aggression, "I have seen many dragons here and waited until they were gone before looking for the same thing. I have found no signs of dragons or the princess."
As the knights put their hands on their swords, Geoffrey raised his hand and almost instantaneously an arrow appeared through the heart of the leader and flames erupted from behind the knights. Geoffrey drew his sword and confronted the second in command. As their swords clashed arrows kept falling with deadly accuracy sending three more knights to their maker. The fire and screams behind the knights barely entered his senses.
Geoffrey found an opening and thrust his sword into his opponent, and he fell on the verge of death, but a second knight jumped in place of his fallen comrade. He caught Geoffrey off-guard, and he was immediately on the defensive. Geoffrey fought hard but the knight had him and he knew unless something happened, he was dead. He fought hard but the knight pushed him against a rock, and he was trapped.
Ruth could see the knight's whole body tensing as though he knew Geoffrey was going to make a move. The stringy muscles in his arm were tensing as he gripped the sword tighter. He was stabilizing his stance and his finger was twitching around the handle. Ruth glanced at Geoffrey, and she could see all of his muscles were coiled like a snake ready to strike.
A banshee like scream split the air and both men swiveled to look at Ruth. She had stripped off her coat and was using the weapon she knew could help the man she loved. She had shed her warrior outfit showing her naked body in a gorgeous display of womanhood. She used whatever she could to keep Geoffrey safe and her scintillating body was her greatest weapon. Both men were frozen, stunned by the beautiful apparition of Ruth glistening in the morning sunlight.
Geoffrey snapped out of his trance a split second before the knight did and this gave him the edge he needed. He thrust his sword into the neck of the knight while pushing the knight's sword away from his body. The knight fell like a sack of potatoes and Geoffrey whirled to look for his next target, but all were dead.
Ruth dashed out of the rocks plunging, still naked, into Geoffrey's arms. At first, she was afraid he had been injured, but when she didn't find any blood, she was thankful and kissed everything she could reach. Geoffrey was still trembling with adrenaline and looking for any other antagonists. Ruth wrapped in his arms was the best treatment for both conditions.
Both of them were shaking with waning fear, horror over the King and relief that they were both okay. They shared their relief, and their common repugnance over what happened seemed to bring their hearts even closer together. It seemed as though it was the world against them and the only people, they could rely on were each other. Their love unified them, with two people blossoming into a conjoined flower of love. Their hearts were becoming one and neither wanted to fight it.
Love was flourishing, but it needed nourishment and the passion inside them was food for their soul. Geoffrey felt her satiny smooth skin underneath his hands and he had to have more. He fit an ass cheek in each hand and lifted her off her feet until her expectant face was even with his. His mouth latched on to hers as he gluttonously gorged himself on her lips.
